Cambridgeshire Care Home

About Us

Angie Ryan

Angie Ryan is the Manager of The Cambridgeshire Care Home.

Angie works very closely with her staff team to ensure that every resident feels completely at home. She believes in a real ‘hands on’ approach to her role, working with colleagues to create an environment that provides a full and rich quality of life for the elderly residents who they support.

Working as a Registered Nurse since the beginning of the 1990’s, it was a role as a Senior Staff Nurse on an elderly care ward that confirmed to Angie that she wanted to specialise in elderly care. She moved into nursing and residential care in 1997, managing a small nursing home and, since then, Angie hasn’t looked back. She has a degree in Gerontological Nursing, awarded in 2003, and has also completed the Registered Managers Award and several courses in dementia care.

Angie has worked at manager and regional manager level and more recently in a commissioning capacity. She has worked with the Jeffery family since 2008 and wholeheartedly supports the ethos of First Care Homes, being determined that she and her staff never lose sight of the fact that the residents they care for have all led full, meaningful and, in many cases, extraordinary lives. She firmly believes that moving into care simply represents another stage in an individual’s life journey.
